port forwarding problems

brapakin · August 3, 2008

I am getting the same problems as most people in the forum. Slow speeds and my port is not open. I have followed the static ip and port opening instructions and still port is not open. i have went to speedtest.net (6500 kbps and 450 kbps) and i believe that all of my speed setting are set correctly.

comprmt gives:

IPv4 Address - 10.10.10.100

Default Gateway - 10.10.10.1

DHCP server - 10.10.10.1

Dns server - 192.168.1.254

I set static as 10.10.10.150

When i go to whatismyipaddress.com it gives me 65.4.222.15

can someone inform me of the differences in the ip addresses. I am not that educated in computers but learning fast.

why are my numbers 10.10.... and not something like in the turtorial 192.168.1.1?

Also since I believe my problem is in my port forwarding in my router why cant i just plug my computer directly into my modem and bypass these problems and download without the router? (or am i way off with this assumption?)

As long as you only have one computer, there is no reason you can't directly connect your computer to you modem.

brapakin · August 3, 2008

i only have one laptop and it is connected directly to my modem. when i test the port it still says port is not open. i aslo still have the yellow exclamation point at the bottom of utorrent that says no connections.

still only downloads at about 20-30 kbps.

any suggestions?

What's the first half of your IPa while connected directly to the modem?

brapakin · August 3, 2008

when connected directly to my modem the IPv4 in command prompt shows 192.168.1.1

GTHK · August 3, 2008

That's your IPa? That's an unusual one. You renewed it right? If you did, your modem is a router.

brapakin · August 3, 2008

like i said i'm knida new to the technical aspects of computers. that is the ipv4 address that comes up when in run a new command prompt (ipconfig) when connected directly to the modem.

if it is a router i didn't know it but i don't think it is. it is a small silver motorola modem.

not sure what u mean by "renew"?

if it is a router then now what? i still have the problem.

GTHK · August 3, 2008

Ok, when connected to the modem, use these in a command prompt:

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig | find "IP Address"

The second command will show only your IPa, post the first half.

brapakin · August 3, 2008

when i type in the second command nothing happens not even an error message. it just goes to a new line.

GTHK · August 3, 2008

You need to keep the casing of "IP Address".

brapakin · August 3, 2008

thank you for your patience but I have tried to type it in every way i can and even copy and paste your entry but nothing works.

ipconfig | find "IP Address"

ipconfig | find IP Address

ipconfig | find "ip address"

ipconfig | find ip address

find "IP Address"

and others...

any other way to find it?

GTHK · August 3, 2008

That's weird. Just do ipconfig /all and then find your connection, look for the line with "IP Address" in it.

So that's your IP address while connected to the modem? The modem is also a router, you need to either bridge it or port forward it.

brapakin · August 3, 2008

i have read the bridge mode several times. let me make sure i understand it.

step #1 - try to disable the NAT in my modem.

i did this and i could not connect to the internet afterwords

step #2 - make my connection type in my modem PPPoE

it is already PPPoE. i changed it to Bridged Ethernet and i could not connect to the internet.

step #3 - set up a new connction with new settings

said connection was unsuccessful

did i do this right b/c nothing i did seemed to work?

GTHK · August 3, 2008

Well, once you change your modem to bridge mode, you need PPPoE in your router.

brapakin · August 3, 2008

i was able to port forward through my modem when directly connected to the modem. finally! when i hook up my router will i have to change anything?

thank you for all your help.

GTHK · August 3, 2008

Hmmm, you need to port forward your modem so that it forwards to your router, and then have your router forward to your computer. How does your modem forwarding work, by device or by IPa?

brapakin · August 3, 2008

im not sure how to answer that question. i just looked up my modem (motorola) on the portforward.com lst and followed instructions. then tested it through u torrent and it said the port is ok. and i now have the green circle.

i never typed in and ip address during the process.

GTHK · August 3, 2008

Can you link me to the instructions?

brapakin · August 3, 2008

for my particular modem

http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Motorola/2210-02/Utorrent.htm

thank you for the help.

im going to download something now and see if my speed goes up.

GTHK · August 3, 2008

OK, as long as you have your router set for port forwarding, it should work. You may want to make another rule, except set to UDP instead of TCP, so that DHT can work.

brapakin · August 3, 2008

not sure i know what you mean. are u saying do this in my modem, router, or utorrent? and where would i set this?

GTHK · August 3, 2008

Well, does your modem have a both option? If it does, use that, otherwise, in the modem, use the same ports, but set UDP.

brapakin · August 3, 2008

ok i see now.

i have been downloading for about 45 min. getting speeds of about 60-75 kbps now about 35 though (much better now that the port is open ie. 5-15 kbps). my friend has the same internet and gets 500-600 kbps.

could this be in our different computers or just in the settings?

any suggestions?
